Lighting the way for our Dragons – Celebrations, news, and what’s coming next.

A Note from the Principal

📌 Back to School Night – Thursday, September 18 at 6:00 p.m.
Join us for Back to School Night! Families will have the chance to visit classrooms and learn more about school safety, academic expectations, PTA, AVID, and how Title I funds support our students. All students whose families attend will be entered into a raffle drawing!

🛡️ Lockdown Practice
This month, students will review what to do in the event of a school lockdown. They will practice procedures in different locations (classrooms, cafeteria, playground, restrooms, etc.) so they feel confident and prepared.

⭐ LiveSchool Recap
As of Friday, you should now be receiving a weekly LiveSchool Recap by email. This report highlights your child’s positive points and any demerits earned during the week. (see pic below)

💙 Thank You, Families!
Your support and partnership make a world of difference. Together, we’re building a safe, engaging, and positive school community where every child can thrive.

Go Dragons Go! 🐉🔥
